Both my spouse and I have a Sony Reader. We immediately set up our separate accounts on the connect store and took advantage of the $50 savings.

I had assumed that we could simply register each other's device in our respective accounts and thereby read each other's purchased books. This assumption was made considering you can have up to 6 devices registered.
Attempting to do that gave me a warning that the device was associated with another account, that the other ebook had to be de-activated from the other account, and something along the line that that device would no longer be able to read the books originally purchased under the de-activated account.

What am I doing wrong here? Could have sworn you could share ebooks in the same family.

Thanks in advance for any help.
